I had a really good sleep again with Missy at my feet. I was very discombobulated though to the point that I even forgot to bring a mask with me. There wasn’t one in my jacket or my car and I hadn’t grabbed a purse. Fortunately there are some at the office. I just got myself organized and plodded along with my work. There were many email and issues to catch up on and I tried to pace myself and not stress. I had a cottage cheese breakfast and yesterday’s leftovers for lunch and then I started to get heartburn. I drank so much water and only two cup of coffee so I am not sure what caused it. I have always been very controlled when it comes to the release of gas in any form so the necessity to not only do so but try to do so… is challenging. I feel more comfortable at home where I can do what is necessary. Of course I realize that the measure of things still functioning is a release in any way.
A client messaged she was making stew and could she bring me some tomorrow along with cheese biscuits. How sweet! I know what I am having for dinner tomorrow. I still am doing ok talking with clients but am otherwise still peopled out. Not depressed just low on energy and I use up bursts of it when on the phone. I stayed late to finish off some things and came home to make panko chicken nuggets in the air fryer and couscous in the microwave. Added cucumber and tomato and a bit of feta for a delicious meal but am really struggling with heartburn. I have half left for lunch tomorrow but I find myself far too aware of everything gastro now. I guess I really do fear further problems. I wish they knew why the ileus happened so I could just avoid that.

Auntie Ollie has to be flown out to hospital in Kelowna where they take care of the heart patients. She’s to have surgery and it is super risky in her condition and at her age. There is worry in the family for her life. I feel sad for my cousins.
